Pre-game vs. Kings

The Sonics appear to be near full health with Jeff Green back in the starting lineup while Kurt Thomas also said he was ready to go. Seattle has played Sacramento in two close, excitin games and they should get a break with the absence of Brad Miller, who will miss the game with a cut right index finger sustained while washing dishes.

Former UW standout Spencer Hawes should get more minutes in Miller’s absence. John Salmons, who is having a solid year, will start in place of Miller.
